I just want an F-86. Doesn’t even need to run.

You are both in my thoughts today .

Common sense and patriotism win the day.

You're good here. Probably get an nice hero award from the sheriff.

Ditto

Scary! Glad it turned out ok.

The FBI admitted they had no pc for an arrest. They wanted to interview her based on her apparent fascination with Columbine combined with her traveling to 5he area and purchase of a firearm. On social media she had made statements in the past that concerned her family and friends.

Local news media said she “legally” purchased the shotgun. Really? I don’t think so. https://abcnews.go.com/US/colorado-authorities-searching-columbine-obsessed-woman-threatened-denver/story?id=62440721

The Navy wasn’t the only branch to use it for ground attack.

It’s a plane that looks like it means business. I have a friend who was a Phantom driver and an airline pilot later. One year when the Reno air races were going on I asked him if he ever did any air racing. ” Only when I was trying to get out of North Vietnam airspace”, he said.

With absolutely no info other than pictures and some arson investigation training, it is my opinion at this time that it was simply due to the construction. The origin appears to be on the roof where the restoration activity is going on. One welding spark (or cigarette) on the wood planks of the scaffolding or the centuries-old wood roof portions would start an inferno in a short time. A deliberate arson attempt would most likely have been done at a much lower level. I could be wrong. But how many other fires have we seen here on buildings under construction that were similar? The Stratosphere hotel in 93 and the Monte Carlo in Vegas in 2003 come to mind. I hope it's carelessness and not deliberate.

Also makes them look tasty to predators. Nature is funny.

Most probably. It happens all the time. New construction or renovation. Welding sparks, a hot rivet dropped, etc.

That was my first thought. How many fires have we all seen that started during construction or renovation? One witness said it seemed to start as the cathedral was closing for the day. Construction crew also wrapping it up. Maybe a hot weding torch laid down on a wood scaffold? Sparks? Hot rivet dropped? Cigarette (it’s Paris, everybody smokes) Time will tell. Somebody has a lot of splaining to do. If they find out some goober worker caused it they may bring back the Guillotine.
